COTTON
NEW Nov. 3.—There was a break
of about a cent in the cotton market during
today's early trading under increased south
ern selling, weakness in Liverpool and bear
ish private ginning returns. The southern
selling was more active than for several days
end was the feature of the early dealings,
while Liverpool advices reported a disap
* pointing trade demand and increased pressure
of hedge selling there also. After opening
at a decline of 27 to 48 points and selling
87 to 52 points net lower, however, the mar
ket steadied on trade buying and covering,
with January working up from 19.68 c to
19.75 c and December from 20.13 c to 20.30 c.
Private ginning returns indicated 7,280,00<’
bales ginned to November 1 and a crop of
12.760,000 bales.
The moderate mid-morning rallies were fol
lowed by renewed weakness owing to contin
ued southern hedge selling and scattering
Jressure. December sold off to 20.05 and
anuary to 19.55 after the close of Liver
pool, or 60 to 63 points net lower while
later months showed net losses of about 40
to 56 points. Most of the southern selling
■was said to come from the eastern belt and
was supposed. to account for the relatively
easy ruling of the near months.
Reports that southern yam spinners had
decided to adopt a half-time schedule led to
more active selling early in the afternoon,
•nd December broke to 19.50e and January
to 19.20 c, or 85 to 98 points net lower.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. s.—Bearish ginning
returns and a much lower Liverpool than due
caused heavy selling on the opening of the
eotton market today, and in the first half
hour of business prices lost 69 to 78 points,
December falling to 19.23 c and May to
18.40 c. A private bureau report counted the
cotton ginned to the first of November at
7,280,000 bales, against 6,305,000 a year agtr
and 7,777.159 two years ago.
Recoveries of 30 to 40 points followed
realizing by shorts but reports that Welsh
coal miners were showing a disposition not
to return to work caused the fear that fur
ther bad labor news was possible and the
market broke to new low levels on some
month?. In the . trading up to 11 o’clock
prices were 70 to 78 points under yester
day’s close at their lowest, with December
•elling at one time as low as 19.22 c.
The small mill takings for the week 203,-
600 bales against 332.000 this week last
year and 31t,000 this week two years ago,
Stimulated furthei selling and in the trad
ing up to 1:30 o’clock the active months
were .sqn-t to declines of 90 to 108 points,
with December down to 18.90 and May to

large stock in all grains at terminal markets
this winter, -with resulting carrying charge

SHEPARD & GLUCf* COTTON LETTER
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. s.—The hoavy gin
ning returns credited to the National din
ners’ association, 7,280,000 bales to Novem
ber 1, against 6,305,000 to the same date
last year, were the main cause of the
selling in the cotton market today, although
reports that Welsh miners were showing
a disinclination to return to work and un
favorable mill and cotton goods news helped
the movement to some extent. We believe
trade interests are quietly picking up both
spot cotton and contracts on these declines
and believe such operations will be found
profitable in the end.
Alabama Legislature
Will Not Meet to
Pass Cotton Measures
MONTGOMERY, Ala.—(Special)—
Governor Kilby will not give se- I
rious consideration to the request
of J. S. Wannatnaker, president of
the American Cotton association,
for an extra session of the Ala
bama legislature for the establish
ment of a moratorium on taxes due
by cotton farmers and the enact
ment of legislation restricting the
cotton acreage next year by thirty
three and one-third per cent until
he is shown how the state govern
ment can exist without finances,
how cotton farmers can be bene
fited by a postponement of the
payment of taxes temporarily and
how the legislation proposed can be
made constitutional, wise and prac
tical.
Governor Kilby in a day letter,
made this, declaration In answer to
Mr. Wannamaker’s telegram re
ceived several days ago. He doesn’t
believe the matter of restricting
acreage or stabilizing prices is one
for the state government and he
informed Mr. Wannamaker that the
matter was one for the considera
tion of organizations of 'farmers,
bankers and business g men. Mr
Wannamaker made the same appeal
to the governor of each cotton
growing state, urging that an
extra session of each legislature be
held without delay and declaring
that this relief only can protec*
the interests of the cotton-growers
The renly of the governor fol
lows: ‘Your telegram requesting
that I call an extra session of the
legislature of Alabama to convene
as speedily as possible for the pur
pose of passing legislation to post
none payment of taxes in whole o' ’
in part until July next and to re
quire reduction in cotton acreage
by thirtj'-three and a third per cen*
is received.
“In my judgment the entire cot
ton problem, planting, ginning, mar
keting and manufacture, is one fo>
consideration of people directly in
terested and now organized into cot •
ton associations, farmers’ assocla
tions. bankers, merchants and othe’
business organir.aflons and not sos
the state governments. I question
the constitutionality, wisdom ano
nrnctio-ibility of such legislation.
However, I would Tike to have your
opinion as to how governments
could function fop three-fourths of
a yoop without funds.
“Where would we get the money
for the education of the children
of the state, pensions for old sol
diers. payment of the military and
law. enforcing officers, maintenance
of insane asylums and other elee
mosynary institutions, courts and
the various departments of the
state? What would be our justifica
tion for stepping the entire ma
chinery the government with all
the appalling and manifest conse
quences in the interest of one
commodity? Would it be right to
deprive the cotton farmer himself
of all the benefits 6f government
merely so” the postponement of his
tax bill? Suppose the legislation
you suggest was enacted, how could
the measures be enforced without
a functioning state government?
Would you destroy the foundation
ih order to give special protection
to one part of the sunerstructure?
I am interested as much as you or
any person in the cotton farmer re
ceiving just and reasonable prices
for his cotton and I had honed
that the American cotton associa
tion would so function as to ma
terially as/sist the cotton farmer. I
issued a proclamation last week
calling upon the people of Ala
bama to support the association.
, “Unless satisfactory answers can
be given .to these questions, I
shall be unable to give serious con
sideration to your request.”

Night Rider’s Leader
In Montgomery Raid
Is Reported Killed
MONTGOMERY, Ala., Nov. 4.
I The ring leader of the roving
band of negroes which pillaged,
robbed and burned residences,
cotton gins, cotton houses and ten
ant houses In the interior of Mont
gomery county from Saturday night
to Monday afternoon is dead and
his assistants are in the Montgom
ery county jail on charges of arson
and other crimes, according to a
confession of one of the negroes
who is now being carefully guard
ed by officers until it is submitted
to the grand jury.
The confession was made to dep
uties and said that Warren Taylor,
who was killed by officers Monday
afternoon when he attempted to kill
Sheriff J. L. Scogin, Chief of Police
W. H. Taylor and deputies, ar
ranged for the commission of the
crimes and led the mob, and that
fifteen other negroes now in jail
were involved. The officer from
whom information of the confession
was obtained declined to say wheth
er or not others were involved in
the crimes.
Taylor first robbed his mother’s
home of eight hundred dollars and
started out with the mob on the
spree which resulted in the firing
of cotton gins, tenant houses and
other buildings. In a brush with of
ficers, the negro was shot. He then
reported that he had pursued the
mob and was shot by one of them.
His story of his heroism was plaus
ible and was believed for a. while,
but later he was suspected of be
ing one of the mob. An investiga
tion and search disclosed the money
on the negro. He was arrested and
killed when he grabbed a pistol of
Chief Taylor and attempted to kill
his captors.
Sheriff Scogin, Chief Taylor and
C. AV. Austin, chief of the state law
enforcement department, believe a
great majority of the conspirators
are behind the bars. They are now
attempting to ferret out the motives
for the crimes. They believe taw
that the crimes were planned by
another and the opinion has been
expressed that the organization may
have been formed in the heart of
Montgomery and for a purpose
widely separated from that which
prompted night-riders to post warn
ings on cotton gins throughout the
south.
No reports of further crimes have
been received since the negroes
were placed in jail.

GIVEN 20 DAYS
FOR CONTEMPT
City Detective Lon Terry was sen
tenced to twenty days in the county
jail without a fine by Judge John
D. Humphries, in the criminal divi
sion of the superior court Thurs
day morning, for contempt. It was
said that Terry took offense at a
statement made by a witness during,
a murder trial, abused witness
and threatened to shoot him.
Detective Terry was called to the
witness stand by the defense in the
case of Henry Reed, colored, charged
with murder and during his cross
examination. Solicitor General John
A. Boykin asked the officer if it was
true that the officer had conducted a
raid several days ago in which he
got ten cases of liquor and turned
only two of the cases into the police
station, keeping the other eight for
himself.
Terry denied it and after leaving
the witness stand he i« alleged to
have gone to the witness room and
called Clarence Hart, a witness, into
the corridor, charging him with hav
ing made the statement to the solici
tor general. Words followed between
the two men. and Terry was said to
have attempted to draw his revolv
er. Deputy Sheriff J. Gordon Hardy
separated the two men.

Has Been Named
President of Cuba
HAVANA, Nov. 4.—(By the Asso
ciated Press ) —Dr. Alfredo Zayas
has been elected president of Cuba.

cial vote, professed to have no over
night returns sufficiently definite for

declined to concede the election of

$3,000 Is Given by
Georgia Women to
Mountain School
Something of a sensation was
sprung at the Thursday morning bus
iness session 'of the convention of
the Georgia State Federation of
Woman’s clubs at the First Presby
terian church,, when in fifteen min
utes the delegates subscribed more
than $3,000 for the maintenance and
Improvement of the Tallulah Falls
institution for mountain girls.
This action came as results of re
ports by Mrs. Hugh Willet on the
work of the school, and the Introduc
tion of one of the school’s products
Eliza Shirley, who makes her own
dresses, hats, stockings and other
clothes and who is now a teacher in
the school, which she entered only a
few years ago as an untaught moun
tain lassie. *
When Mrs. Willet concluded her
report, a resolution was introduced
and unanimously adopted that th’
federation assume entire support of
the school, which has hitherto been
partially supported by Rabun and
Habersham counties.

Democrat, and on the face of re
turns, chose seven Democratic and
